Really bad title, I know.
I'm feeling very.. sad for my wedding right now and was just hoping to get some words of encouragement.
It's been a bit of a difficult road as my FH's family hasn't been supportive. They probably think they have been, but that we've been rude because I did not ask his sister to be a bridesmaid (We're not close, FH and his sister aren't that close, and I have 4 very close girlfriends that were important to stand up with me).
My FMIL has been VERY upset by this and has made statements about how I 'hate his sister' and how 'our wedding day will be very sad because the three siblings won't be standing up at the front together'.
My FH clearly feels like his mum doesn't approve of him as a person, and that his siblings are higher on the food chain then him. It's heart breaking to know he doesn't feel loved by his mother.
For me, its hard to have an inlaw with no interest about the wedding. She wasn't excited at our engagement (just kept talking about his sisters wedding) and said she wasn't excited because she knows I'm strong willed and doesn't want to upset me (nonsense). Since then, just no interest at all.
Just hard to go into a family that doesn't want to welcome me. Which is too bad, as I'm sure they'll say its my fault over the bridesmaid situation.
